PHASE 2 IS UNDERWAY

Craig pulled into the Company yard late Monday night, after a day of border crossings and delivering of 4 boats in Surrey. By the stroke of midnight, he had managed to do laundry and take a shower, before he officially leaves the boat fleet and transfer over to the refrigerated division. The anticipation must have gotten the best of him, as he was only able to sleep 6 hours before he was awake and ready for action. He officially checked out of his big blue truck, and was given this:

He has been busy transferring what he had in the old truck into the new one. What is great about this truck is that it has an APU, which means we will be able to run the A/C without idling the truck. What makes this so very, very, important to us, is that in California, it is against the law to idle the truck for more than 5 minutes every hour. Those of you not familiar with the heat that comes to visit in the summertime in the central valley of California, wouldn't know to appreciate this little device as much as we do. We will put up with having a little less room in this Peterbilt, in order to enjoy using that APU.

It seems that after receiving his new log books, some training on the reefer unit, and getting the all important green TWT baseball cap, that Craig looks to be dispatched in the morning on his first load with the new division. We are hoping that his journey will take him south and that he might be able to pick me up along the way, and then, just maybe, I'll be able to get back to what I enjoy most............Observing life from the passenger seat, and sharing it all with the company of my husband!
